Cantrip WITH Fódhla (Double Bill)

What a lovely double bill this promises to be.

Cantrip is a leader in Scottish music and or over a decade they have been breaking boundaries in the tradition, touring extensively throughout Scotland and the US. Known for their innovative arrangements, un-produced sound and dry wit this power trio can be seen on some of the largest Celtic stages in the world. From the strong base of its Celtic roots their music branches out into, and takes influences from, the music of other European cultures. Check them out below.

Fódhla (pronounced foh-luh)After 15 years of performing together and recording on each others solo albums, flute player Nicole Rabata and fiddler Ellery Klein decided a group together was long overdue. With the addition of Bethany Waickman on guitar, the trio found a sound rooted in the traditional Irish music Ellery and Nicole honed during years abroad in Cork, Limerick, and Ennis. The trio is also influenced by the depths of Nicoles virtuosic classical music career, Ellerys Americana sounds, and Bethanys soft-spoken, yet driving, guitar playing. Check them out.

The Burren Backroom series is now well established as one of the most sought-after boutique series of trad presentation in the world. It has already created already dozens of memorable, intimate, informal presentations held in a truly atmospheric space which was founded by well-known traditional musicians Tommy McCarthy and Louise Costello in Davis Square, Somerville, Massachusetts.

Hosted by Brian O'Donovan of A Celtic Sojourn on WGBH radio, these gatherings feature core performers from many aspects of traditional music as well as special guests, and conversations around the music. As is the custom of the Burren, it is anticipated informal and dynamic post concert sessions will be a feature.
